election

Only if Bush or Kerry wins.

Looked like a good turnout. Better than 2000, anyway.

My polling place is on the way to work, only about a block out of the
way. The turnout wasn't fab, I was voter ~100 at about 8:30. Granted
it was peeing down rain this morning, but it's Seattle, you think
people would be used to it.

Here, I've never seen so many cars at our local polling place. I just spent
the morning on GOTV activities; I'm on break now, and then will resume in
about half an hour. I've come home to take a hot shower and change my
clothes -- my feet were completely soaked through due to the rain, and I had
to wring out my pony tail at lunch, it was so wet. After I warm up and dry
out, I'll be back on the street.

They're predicting ~85% turn out for the county, Dane. You probably just
have a neighborhood that votes after work, as opposed to before.

I rode to the polls at 7AM. Line was out the door and into the parking lot.
Of course, I was the only cyclist.... :-(

Rode my bike about a half mile to the booth at 7am. There was another
cyclist there too and they let us park our bikes inside (a church gym).

Last time I voted there as one other cyclist arriving at the polls
too. We parked outside locking to a fence were we exchanged comments
on how discouragingly stupid it is to not provide bike racks at a
primary school.

I rode, 3 PM-ish, to the library, where there were 3-4 other cyclists. It was a
very nice day, so anyone able to be away from work during the day was making the
most of it. There were no lines, just a steady stream. I heard on the radio
that local turnout was supposed to be about 50%. This is a college town, and
college students mostly don't vote, despite the constant political bickering of
a vocal few.

om...
I hope every American Citizen remembers to vote today. I voted at
6:00 a.m. with my family. I didn't ride my bike because the polling
place is around the corner from our home. I just hope we have a
President when I wake up tomorrow. A repeat of last year will really
suck.


I was Voter #141 at about 8AM, an hour into polling. As usual, I stopped in
to vote on my ride in to work, and we all had the usual laugh about how
nobody can peek over my shoulder while I vote because I'd see them in my
eyeglass mirror.

My wife voted on her way home, at about 7PM, and was #830. There are only
about 1000 registered voters in our borough. That's something, I think.

Last year...I think it was four years ago. And it was brought on by a
democrat.

Ok 4 years ago........Gosh republicans are so anal. I made a mistake.
A mistake. Liberal Democrats sometimes make mistakes. Rarely but
sometimes. ;-)
Peace my friend.

''Election coverage without results is like pornography without

That is a strange analogy. And doesn't really make a lot of sense.

Its from a book of quotations....I thought the analogy was
appropriate. Do you want to watch election coverage and not see any
results.....I know people who look at pornography want to see nudity.
Not that I look at Porn of course. I am a 50 year old wife and mother
who lives in the suburbs. I have no idea what porn is all about. ;-)
I come from a sheltered environment.
